"If one consults enough herbals... every sickness known to humanity will be listed as being cured by sage." - Varro Taylor, Ph.D., Pharmacologist
The refrigerator light goes on...
The choice of herbs here is not important. Use what you have in the garden or the fridge. Equal amounts of basil, chive, sage, rosemary, and oregano will do, but you could just as easily choose thyme, sage, marjoram and tarragon. This recipe will work with dried herbs, but it just isn't quite as good.
Herbed Zucchini
Servings: 4 | Serving size: about 2/3 cup
Cooking Time: 30 Minutes
This recipe can be multiplied by 2. Leftovers are fair.
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 lb zucchini (1/2 inch dice)
- 2 Tbsp fresh herbs of your choice
- 1/4 tsp salt
- fresh ground black pepper to taste
Place the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot add the zucchini. Let the zucchini cook without stirring for about 3 minutes. If it appears to be cooking too fast, reduce the heat to medium.
Toss the zucchini well and cook for about 7 - 10 more minutes. As the cubes begin to brown, add the herbs, salt, and pepper and continue to toss.
Do not over cook the zucchini. As soon as the outside is lightly browned and it is slightly soft serve.
